Burroughs Legion of Honor Pin
Description:

This pin or tie tack is a gold square with a red and white enameled center that is marked with the Burroughs logo and the Burroughs legion of honor designation. A pin protrudes from the back and fits into a gold-colored holder.

According to the donor, Burroughs salesmen who sold 100 percent or more of their quota became members of the "Burroughs Legion of Honor." Those who were members for two or more consecutive years received pins with diamonds in them.
